Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0796034A2] A piezoelectric acoustic transducer that can be reliably and easily connected with an external conductor without detracting from the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric acoustic transducing element is provided. A first case member (11) is provided with an acoustic hole (110) continuous with an internal space (10). A piezoelectric acoustic transducing element (2) is constituted by mounting a piezoelectric element (22) on one surface (211) of a diaphragm (21) and is housed inside the case (1) partitioning the internal space into two portions. Ends (311) and (321) of terminal members (31) and (32) respectively are connected to the piezoelectric element (22) inside the case (I), their middle portions (312) and (322) are held between the first case member (11) and the second case member (12) and the portions that are beyond the middle portions (312) and (322) are led out to the outside of the case (1) to constitute spring pieces (313) and (323), which are folded upward and back over the one surface of the second case member (12). <IMAGE>
